1) The "art vs. science" issue in teaching is probably best answered by the statement that teaching
requires
A) learned skills and creativity.
B) imagination and, therefore, is an art.
C) the ability to learn and apply specific rules.
D) the use of scientific methods.
1A
Like medicine, teaching requires a combination of learned skills and creativity. Thus, teaching is
considered to be both an art and a science.
2) A case study is an investigation of
A) people from one geographic area.
B) one person or group over a specific period of time.
C) a small group of people with similar backgrounds.
D) different groups of people over a period of time.
2B
Case studies involve an intensive examination of real-life contexts (such as schools or classrooms)
through direct observations, biographical data, school records, test results, peer ratings, and a wide
variety of other observational tools. The researcher would investigate one person or a group of people
intensively over a relatively long period of time.
3) Reflective teachers are best described by the following phrase:
A) thoughtful and inventive.
B) maintaining class discipline.

D) adapt instruction and assessment to students’ needs.

B) are strongly related.
C) decrease proportionately.
D) tend to increase or decrease together.
5D
A positive correlation indicates that two factors increase or decrease together. As one
increases so does the other; as one decreases so does the other. Therefore, the two factors
for a positive correlation vary in the same direction. If the correlation is negative, one factor
increases while the other factor decreases.
